How to care for Nicotiana Whisper Mixed F1:
Protect from frost, keep the soil or compost moist by watering regularly during dry spells and feed with a balanced fertiliser every fourteen days. Although usually grown as an annual, plants that are protected with a dry mulch may survive mild winters where temperatures only occasionally fall below -5°C (23°F).
Sowing instructions:
Early sowings can be undertaken (from March to May) under glass at approximately 20°C, in trays or pots filled with good quality seed compost.
Surface sow thinly and water from the bottom of the pots by sitting them in a tray of water for a short time when necessary.
When large enough to handle, grow on in small pots and gradually harden off before planting outside at 45cm intervals after frost.
As the seeds are so small it may help to mix them with a little sand before sowing. This will help you keep track of where they are and also avoid overcrowding.
